Xiao Zheng and Long Qie drank until midnight on the rooftop of the villa before staggering to bed, and only woke up at noon the next day.
Upon opening his eyes, he realized he was late for work!
Xiao Zheng suddenly sat up, rubbing his sowhat sore head. Last night, he didn’t use his Gang Qi to neutralize the alcohol, so he was still drunk, leading to so consequences on the second day.
"Forget it, I’ll just stay at ho."
Xiao Zheng sighed deeply.
He was feeling a bit down, not wanting to do anything, mainly because of the issues with Mr. Liu. After all, the Evil God had never done anything like this before, making a promise and then breaking it.
But Xiao Zheng didn’t regret it.
If he hadn’t acted that way, the Black Sword King and others would have posed an extre threat to Sky Net. Without him, whether Long Qie and the others could have won was an unknown.
After all, the energy that a group of people harboring hatred could unleash was unimaginable. It was necessary to eradicate the roots completely.
"Forget it, keep drinking."
Xiao Zheng staggered down to the living room, took out several bottles of liquor, went out to the villa’s balcony, sat down, and began drinking while looking at the distant scenery.
Yunlan Villa was nad such because it was built halfway up a mountain. From this vantage point, one could often see a boiling scene of clouds and mist.
This mont was no exception.
Gazing into the distance, the mountains were shrouded in a layer of pristine mist. Even at noon, it hadn’t completely dispersed but seed sowhat ethereal.
Beneath the cover of the white mist, the mountains stretched continuously, the distant mountains touched with blue, reminiscent of an ancient Huaxia landscape painting.
However, looking at such beautiful scenery, Xiao Zheng remained unmoved, simply drinking listlessly by himself.
Inside the villa, Xiao Ran had gone to school, and Leng Ruobing had gone to work, leaving only so servants who stayed in their rooms and dared not wander around.
So, it was just Xiao Zheng alone now.
In his despondence, he even felt a sense of loneliness creep in.
Ti passed quickly and soon it was evening, the distant sunset glowing, the sky a patch of blood red.
Xiao Zheng soon saw a car whooshing down the road, then stopping at the villa’s gate, from which a beautiful woman alighted.
Leng Ruobing.
As soon as she entered, Leng Ruobing’s nose twitched, catching a strong scent of alcohol, then followed it with her eyes and saw Xiao Zheng drinking on the balcony, surrounded by over a dozen empty bottles!
Leng Ruobing’s beautiful brow furrowed.
And she was also sowhat surprised.
All those bottles were high-proof liquor. How could Xiao Zheng drink so much? Wasn’t he afraid of alcohol poisoning?
She walked up to him, crossed her arms, and looked at Xiao Zheng, "What’s wrong with you? You’ve started to drink excessively!"
In Leng Ruobing’s tone, there was a mix of concern and reprimand.
"Moreover, I heard that you didn’t even go to work today! Is it okay to just waste your days like this?"
By this point, Xiao Zheng was thoroughly intoxicated. Hearing Leng Ruobing’s comnt, he guzzled a large gulp of alcohol, then said to her, "This is a man’s business, you won should mind your own! Mind it too much, and I’ll spank you."
"You..."
Lines of frustration appeared on Leng Ruobing’s forehead. What he said... even spanking... What kind of talk was that?
"Hmph, never mind you!" Leng Ruobing clacked into the house in her high heels.
Xiao Zheng shook his head and ignored her.
He was too lazy to do anything now, like he wanted to indulge himself to the fullest. Perhaps it wasn’t just because of Mr. Liu, but also because of his health. It was getting worse, and without finding the Golden Bone, he might not live much longer.
And until now, he had only found three pieces of the Golden Bone!
There was no news of the remaining pieces...
The Golden Bone, of which there were hundreds of pieces, how long would it take to find them all? By that ti, he might have turned to ash. The hope was really bleak.
Only Xiao Zheng, with a will as strong as steel, could endure this situation. If it were soone else, they might have gone crazy and done sothing unreasonable.
Not long after Leng Ruobing returned ho, Chu Xiaoran ca back from school too, chattering and bouncing into the house.
This girl wasn’t as attentive as Leng Ruobing. Although she slled the alcohol, she didn’t take much notice and rushed into the house, shouting.
"Sis, sis, I’m hungry."
However, when she turned her head, she saw Leng Ruobing sitting on the sofa, her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
The dining table was completely empty.
Chu Xiaoran was taken aback, what’s wrong today? She ran over and sat next to Leng Ruobing, taking her hand and shaking it, "Sis, what’s wrong? Are you upset about sothing? You’re not eating."
Leng Ruobing pointed outside the window, "Look."
Chu Xiaoran followed the direction Leng Ruobing pointed.
Xiao Zheng sat on the balcony, his back slightly desolate, next to him were a dozen empty wine bottles. He silently drank, exuding a downcast air he had never shown before.
"What’s wrong with Xiao Zheng?" Chu Xiaoran exclaid.
"I don’t know," Leng Ruobing shook her head, then patted Chu Xiaoran’s shoulder, "You go and check on him, ask him."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoran’s eyes rolled, "Hehe, Sis, did you guys have a fight? It’s okay, married couples fight by the head of the bed and make up by the foot of the bed."
"You little girl, have you not been spanked in a few days?" Leng Ruobing was both amused and annoyed, reached out and pinched Chu Xiaoran’s nose.
Then she said worriedly, "I don’t know why, but since he ca back yesterday, he’s been really depressed, and last night he drank a lot. And he’s still drinking today." Leng Ruobing shook her head, "Go and talk to him."
Chu Xiaoran asked, "Why don’t you go?"
"Hmph, that bastard..." Leng Ruobing rembered Xiao Zheng’s words from earlier, and her face flushed. Then she scowled, "When I tell you to go, just go, no more nonsense."
"Oh."
Chu Xiaoran drew out her response with an extended "Oh" and then headed towards the balcony. Seeing Xiao Zheng like that, she was quite worried.
Approaching Xiao Zheng, Chu Xiaoran clasped her hands behind her back, bent over, and drawing close, she smiled, "What’s wrong, big bodyguard?"
Xiao Zheng looked up, glanced at Chu Xiaoran, shook his head and said, "Nothing much. Don’t won have a few days each month? Let tell you a secret, actually, n do too."
"Pfft."
Chu Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh, "Really? There’s such a thing?"
Xiao Zheng replied, "Why would I lie to you? It’s been scientifically proven. Alright, go have your al, stop bothering ."
Chu Xiaoran was stunned, wanting to say more, but saw Xiao Zheng’s expression at that mont, carrying a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.
